Estate Loans

Can I get a loan against property I'm inheriting before probate is finished?

Yes, estate loans (also called probate loans or inheritance advances) allow heirs to borrow money using inherited property as collateral before probate closes. These bridge loans typically require court approval and proof of your inheritance rights. Interest rates are usually higher than traditional mortgages because the property title isn't clear yet. The loan gets repaid when probate finalizes and you can sell or refinance the property with a standard mortgage.
